Not illustrated. 1913 Excerpt: ...with a side opening between the eye-piece lenses and a plate of unsilvered glass B (Fig. 122) inclined at 45 to the axis, the following method can be employed: --When a light is placed opposite the opening the rays are reflected by the glass along the axis of the telescope, and if, after they leave the object glass, they are reflected back by.a Fio. 122. plane mirror, an image of the cross-wires will be seen alongside the cross-wires themselves. A piece of plate glass is mounted on the table with its sides vertical, and adjusted so that the image of the cross-wires formed by reflection at the surface of the glass coincides with the cross-wires themselves. The telescope is then turned through 180, so that the light is now reflected back into the telescope from the other surface of the glass. If the image of the cross-wires now coincides with the wires, the axis of the telescope is perpendicular to the axis about which the telescope turns. If the image does not coincide with the wires, it must be brought half-way back by adjusting the telescope,1 and half-way by adjusting the table on which the plate glass is supported. This adjustment must, if necessary, be repeated till the image in both positions coincides with the wires. The adjustment will not be absolutely correct unless the two sides of the plate glass are exactly parallel. In general, however, the angle included between the two sides is so small as to produce no material error. If the telescope is not fitted with a Gauss eye-piece, we may assume that the optic axis of the telescope is parallel to the telescope tube, and 1 This adjustment is made by tilting the telescope about a horizontal axis with reference to the movable arm which carries the telescope. The arrangements for making this adjustment var..
